Setting CVSROOT works fine for me. For CVS to be able to access the variable "CVSROOT", it must first be placed in the environment using "export CVSROOT". Did you also run this command? Try running the following in a bash session: CVSROOT=:ext:user@cvs/directory export CVSROOT If this works, you have either forgotten to export the variable, or your .bashrc is not being read on startup. See the bash(1) man page for more information. It could also simply be that another command is being run after the relevant line in ~/.bashrc that is changing the value of CVSROOT. Try running the following to confirm its value: printenv CVSROOT bash-2.05b$ printenv CVSROOT ext:storri.wustl.edu:/project/cvs-repository Bashrc: CVS_RSH=ssh CVSROOT="storri.wustl.edu:/project/cvs-repository" ACE_ROOT="/home/storri/src/ACE_CVS_wrappers" TAO_ROOT="$ACE_ROOT/TAO" export CVS_RSH ACE_ROOT TAO_ROOT CVSROOT Upgrading to rawhide version of cvs-1.11.2-10 cures problem. No change was made to the system beyond rebuilding and upgrading cvs package. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: I can check out modules from our CVS server if I do: cvs -d:ext:user@cvs/directory co modulename Yet if I create the shell variable called CVSROOT within the .bashrc: CVSROOT=":ext:user@cvs/directory" It does not work if I do: cvs co modulename Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set CVSROOT within bashrc or from command line 2. Run cvs co <modulename> Actual Results: bash-2.05b$ cvs co nORB cvs server: cannot find module `nORB' - ignored cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules bash-2.05b$ cvs -t co nORB -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous.com:/cvsroot -> Connecting to cvs.shiman.com(199.103.167.237):2401 S-> do_module (nORB, Updating, , ) cvs server: cannot find module `nORB' - ignored cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules -> Lock_Cleanup() CVSROOT is set as: :ext:user@cvs/directory (Not literally but its certainly not the value being used). Expected Results: Checked out the module from CVS using the value in CVSROOT as its target . Additional info:
